Reedsville - Bonnie L. O'Connell, age 73, resident of Brillion West Haven Assisted Living, passed away early Thursday morning October 22, 2020, with her family by her side.

Bonnie was born in Manitowoc to Wilmer and Lucinda (Reinke) Loose on February 21, 1947. She was a 1965 graduate of Chilton High School. On May 16, 1970, she was united in marriage to Keith M.

She was a longtime member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Reedsville, now Holy Family Parish and the Christian Mother's Society; Reedsville Lioness Club; and the American Legion Auxiliary. Bonnie enjoyed taking bus trips, especially to Branson; playing dartball, playing marbles, walking, and tending her flower gardens. Above all, she enjoyed babysitting her grandkids and spending time with her family.

She was preceded in death by her father, Wilmer Loose; her husband, Keith O'Connell; and a brother-in-law, Jim Ott.
